I did biometrics 12 May, sent paid mail 30th June, decision made, waited 15 working days no response on on how to get my passport. Replied the previous paid mail and another escalation was make on the 20th July to wait another 15 working days, I got an email on Monday that they apologise for the delay and that they will work on returning my passport as soon as possible. What we need is to keep praying that the Lord will show mercy over the situation, only the Lord can do it!

I did my biometrics on the 2nd of June at V.I

Sent a paid email last week Wednesday and was told my application is being considered and is awaiting a decision and would only be escalated after 8weeks


Sent another message yesterday( at exactly 8 weeks) and my application was escalated. I was told that I shouldn’t send another message until after 15 working days.


Has anyone been in this kind of similar situation?
Does a decision gets made within the 15 days?

I have an exam on the 23rd of August and I am very worried.

Ahhhh

Hi Bro, I agree that it’s a bit confusing but let me acquaint you with why some people might need school details in their application.
Take for instance my younger bro is schooling in Netherlands, came to visit me in the UK.
He works part time as well so I’m his application he added admission letter from school, his result thus far, school ID card that showed that he would go back to complete his studies. He also added other relevant details about his part time job and he added proof of funds.
So what I am saying is the situation you are determines the type of document you will present especially as home tie.
However, for this applicant, I feel there are lot of information missing and he needs to let us know what type of visa was previously refused, and what type did he apply for now, since you are now a graduate why including these in your application… I doubt if he was applying for visitor visa anyway…

My point exactly...

From the refusal letter. It is clearly stated that applicant apply for a visa to visit the UK. Likely the previous refusal was also for a visitor visa.
In the last application the poser was unemployed and wanted to use his parent as the sponsor. In 5 months time the poser is employed and having received salary for 4 months, the next thing is that he want to visit the UK. Although you circumstances has changed from unemployment to employment. However, planing to commit your 4 months salaries to visit the UK was a red flag. Did you let the ECO know that you have zero monthly expenses in your application. The ECO observed that you only had inflow and no outflow in your bank statement, meaning that someone was covering your living expenses in Nigeria. In summary this is a badly package application hence the refusal.

Remedy: Chill. Do not try to reapply. Focus on your job at least for the next 24 months. This will show the ECO that you are not desperate to visit the UK. When reapplying. Include the following.

1. Letter of introduction from your employer. If it is a private company, ensure that the company is active on CAC website
2. Leave letter
3. Bank statement with outflow/inflow. Demonstrate you incur some expenses and not living off your parents. At least you dey buy data.
3. Itinerary of your activity in the UK
4. A letter that address the last refusal and the steps you have taken to remedy them.

Its is well.

We keep waiting, keep praying and praising God. Even though it tarries it shall surely come.

Documents submitted include, 6months pay slip, letter from my organisation showing that I have worked with them for a while. My previous passports showing my travel history, promotion letters etc. Funny enough I had just about 200k in my account (pls dnt try this oo). A cover letter is very very important as it explains you financial transactions. I called it an explanation letter.
Once again, I wish the best to the waiting folks.
I forgot to add bank statements for 6months.

Hi Guys,

Good morning, I want to ask what documents can I submit for Aunt's nephew who intend to visit the uk.

Background story,

My Aunt currently is about to renew her 5years visa, she has a son who is British here. But she intends to take her nephew, He is currently at home due to ASUU's strike he is a university student at the moment no work. I have told my aunt that their applications can't be merged as one as each person on his own.

I just wanted to enquire what type of document can I submit for him? His mom will be sponsoring the trip, is she going to be dropping her own account?he can get an invite letter from his uncle (my Aunt's son). His school documents, what other proof can we show?

I will appreciate every contribution.

Thank you

Knowledgeispowe:


Yes

Thank you

giselle237:
her uncle or your own uncle?
Also what is the purpose of the trip?
then does she have any other family in the UK?

my uncle. Who is her brother. She is traveling just for vacation, yes she other family in the Uk but extended family members

kod161:

Let her state it that she will be heading back home to meet her family.
She should provide marriage certificate to show she’s married and she stays with her husband and she will be going back to meet her kids after her stay.
Family is a very strong home tie. My opinion

alright thank you

I've had -N150k once from a loan that was taken. And i still got the visa. but then, when i was applying i had visited the UK more than 13times in 5yrs (my partner was a Virgin Atlantic staff so cheap tickets ). Once you've demonstrated that you are not a flight risk nor will you use up public funds, you're usually in the green with them.

Good afternoon
How can some 1 contact UKVI to know the status of their application?

Who can help with uk paid call please?
My application is more than 3weeks and no update yet…….

Tried calling but rejecting my card

Please , what are my chances?

I want to apply for a UK tourist visa.

I had applied for a study visa in 2007, and was refused. One of the reasons for refusal was that I was accused of forging my NYSC certificate(which was not true anyway). It was later, like two years ago that I realized I was banned then, (maybe the usual10 years ) because it wasn’t explicitly stated, from applying for visa.

I have visited several countries since then…South Africa, kenya, Dubai, and lately, France.

Is there any advice on how I can go about this?
